Update: Owen has some chewed whiskers too, mostly the ones around his mouth. Those around his eyes and nose are longer.

I think that somebunny may be a klutz…

Hopefully Dana will see this (I’ll alert her to the thread). I’m clueless about bonding, sadly.

Thank you so much Bam!

I really hope that it clears up, because it started so suddenly. Then again, the illness of her brother may have been very stressful to her. Stress can affect hormones too.

Does anybody know if bonding dates are safe now? Or do you recommend waiting until she’s through this? She is constantly asking for attention and…[Read more]

Ellie, I’m sorry you have this problem. My good rabbit vet held a lecture for vets and vet techs last fall, arranged vy the Swedish Rabbit Welfare Society. I attended as a regular member. Vet mentioned that some neutered femalwe rabbits will “go crazy”and display an excess of all the various unwanted hormonal behaviors the spay was supposed to put…[Read more]

How is your bun doing now? Hopefully she just had a scare, in which case she should soon be fine. Keep monitoring her, offer her a treat now and then, but don’t stress her out by fussing over her too much. If she starts to refuse even yummy treats and/or tries to hide away, I’d contact a vet. Do you notice any limping?

Yeah, I recommend shaving her fur. Try not to cut it too short, to avoid shaving her skin (hurts thinking about it). I’m not too good with medications and stuff, but I do know a little about how to help.

Have you tried using a cat flea comb? Get the ones with dual sides, since they work really well. You could even try human lice combs, for extra…[Read more]

Yes, I meant to make treats in and then serve to them. Just wasn’t sure because of the chemicals and stuff. Thanks!

That’s so frustrating, I’m glad he’s doing ok, I agree with everyone else the vet saying 5-6 years is a bit startling and a red flag. My Milo had been on 1.0 ml of Metacam and no mention of famotidine was made at the time, but I later found out about it’s uses he was near 4 pounds when he was taking it. I would think if they were that worried…[Read more]

I called our vet yesterday and we have started her on some Baytril to be safe. He said it’s possible the pine pellets irritated her, but again we can’t be sure. She is doing much better today.

This bag of pine pellets from TSC had a very powerful pine smell when I opened the bag. Much stronger than the brand I had been getting from a feed sto…[Read more]

You can use Advantage or Revolution for mites. Revolution is prescription pnly in most countries, but Advantage is OTC. Dont use any compund containing Fipronil (Frontline, Sentry, Effipro and other brand names), fipronil is deadly toxic to rabbits.

It’s probably a good ides to cut her hair or even shave it  but if you do shave her, take great…[Read more]

Right now I got her a BumBox which has her hay hanging near it but her food and water bowel are across so she basically poops in too spots. I was thinking of getting a storage tote big enough for me to place her food bowl in. I was going to try what 101rabbits does. Using pellets on the bottom then a layer of carefresh on top. Or I could just wait…[Read more]
